Still fresh... and coming along nicely.

Already planning ahead for next summer season, I am working on some new paintings of Ireland...

What's been going on with the furniture upcycling...

This was a lovely project of re-upholstery, a beautiful chair and an amazingly suited fabric considering our limited resources...

And this is my own little project with yet another chest of drawer , I have added the opening top and I am now making separations inside the top part which will be all upholstered...

 

The countdown is on already!!

I have been busy, and it's only the start of it, hopefully! With sales reaching 150 prints for this first summer season and talks of more shops for next year, I am overwhelmed and delighted with how things are going. So more Irish painting will be needed between now and next April, but for the next couple of months, my attention turns to preparing for the Christmas fairs.

 I will have these little hand painted memory games for children. They contain 12 painted wooden pieces, making 6 pairs that can be placed upside down and then matched by one or more small players! The game comes in a little wooden box, easy to travel with and kids love little containers they can open and find the treasures within them...



And my miniature oil paintings hanging decorations are back as well, here are a few of the quirky ones, ideal for first Christmas keepsakes...

A LOT MORE TO COME SOON...

News from the furniture workshops!

I have to hand it to our great teacher Noel, in a matter of hours, with a few 3x2 and off-cuts of chipboard guided us in making this luxurious Chaise longue from scratch...

And now I have to hand it to myself, this was a chair going to waste, took the back off and we chopped in 2 halves, put an extension in the middle, upholstered it and added a piece of weaving underneath: And here we have it: a beautiful beach house style bench. That's what I call Upcycling taken to another level! 

And I can't take any credit for this one, but I thought it to be very interesting: made out of old pallets, this garden creation is deserving of the title Designer chair!

I haven't been slacking off... new Ireland landscapes now ready!
